Tire pressure: what is the ideal tire pressure for this Saab? seems to me the recommended pressures are too low and I've been running 30psi all round which might be too high. Antifreeze: I think I read on Townsend that Mercedes antifreeze is ideal for our cars but is it strictly necessary. Would an aluminum compatible antifreeze be just as good? Gearbox oil: I've been using 10w30 but have been told a lighter weight oil would be better for the severe winter temperatures we get up here. Any thoughts? Rad fans: Everything has been replaced and the Pass side fan still does not come on even after a fast highway run. My AC has been disconnected so I run that off a toggle switch on the dash after the thermostat opens. Would there be a drawback to me connecting both fans so that when the ignition is turned on both fans run?
